We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and Netezza Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."We are able to execute very complex queries. Over 90 percent of our query executions are one second or less. We do millions of queries everyday."
"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"The data governance prospect... from what I've seen, that is a really powerful tool as well, to help with data lineage and keeping track of that."
"The benefit is really because of the additional speed that we have and, truth be told, the more updated ETL processes and the revamped scheduler in general."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The underlying hardware that IBM provides with this appliance is made for a specific purpose, to serve performance on a large amount of data, and to do analytics as well. It is faster, when you compare it to any other product."
"Data compression. It was relatively impressive. I think at some point we were getting 4:1 compression if not more."
"The performance of the solution is its most valuable feature. The solution is easy to administer as well. It's very user-friendly. On the technical side, the architecture is simple to understand and you don't need too many administrators to handle the solution."
"Speed contributes to large capacity."
"For me, as an end-user, everything that I do on the solution is simple, clear, and understandable."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The need for administration involvement is quite limited on the solution."
"It is a back end for our SSIS, MicroStrategy,, Tableau. All of these are connecting to get the data. To do so we are also using our analytics which is built on the data."
"Our main problem with it is concurrency. When there are too many users running Netezza at the same time, this is when we have the most complaints."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"We are not able to scale. The only way to scale is to get another appliance, but we have a customers who would need us to hydrate the data between the two appliances, and Netezza does not do that."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"In terms of features that I would like to see, one is the ability to actually scale out an architecture. Right now, if you buy one, it's fixed. There is no scale-up availability at all."
"This product is being discontinued from IBM, and I would like to have some kind of upgrade available."
"The Analytics feature should be simplified."
"The solution could implement more reporting tools and networking utilities."
"The most valuable features of this solution are robustness and support."
"The hardware has a risk of failure. They need to improve this."
"Administration of this product is too tough. It's very complex because of the tools which it's missing."
"I'm not sure of IBM's roadmap currently, as the solution is coming up on its end of life."
"In-DB processing with SAS Analytics, since this is supposed to be an analytics server so the expectation is there."

Hi, I currently have Mako appliances in production and a performance server in DR. We are able to do our normal NZBACKUP from Mako and NZRESTORE to our performance server
